I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Customyzed using
I write songs, sing and play guitar and bass with The Electric Supermodels (www.myspace.com/theelectricsupermodels)
Originally from Bedfordshire, I spent three years at Lincoln Uni where I met some cool people and played in a band called Captain Dangerous.
I now share a flat in Redruth, Cornwall, and spend my spare time doing music-type stuff, seeing my girlfriend and chilling down Gaslights, The Green Room and The Cuckoo Bar.
I like to drink real ales, Mead and Jack Daniels and coke. Sometimes in seperate glasses.
i am a mix taper!
How indie are you? test by ridethefader
You're really enthusiastic about the music that you like. You attempt to discover your new favourite band every week. You continually try to get your friends into the music you like, which annoys the fuck out of them, but you don't know it. At least you're not arrogant about it.
What kind of Manic Street Preachers fan are you?
You're a decent Manics fan. Be proud. Not many people can accomplish this.
